Moomers was named best ice cream store in the USA by Good Morning America. It's just a small family-owned operation. They have their own dairy cows, but have to also buy other local milk.

We toured the Interlochen School of Music and Arts just south of Traverse City. It's for high school students. Josh Groban and Nora Roberts both attended school here.
We had a very wet tour. Our guide was a college-age alum. He certainly was enthusiastic about the school.
Sound proof practice rooms. The students can go into these rooms and practice anytime.

The gold-plated piano below cost $10,000 back in the 1930's. They played a 4-handed Gershwin Rhapsody in Blue (actually recorded by Gershwin). I just loved listening to it.
